Facts, not a grade. We do not score a pipe out of ten: a number would rank a restored pipe above an honest one, and restoration is exactly what this hobby prices down. Every line above is checkable by anyone holding the pipe. Lines marked Faridunhill standing declaration rest on our published, dated statement of shop practice (v1.0, 2026-07-29) — not on an inspection of this individual pipe. It is one document, in public, that you can hold us to.
This record documents a Stanwell pipe from the marque's Danish Design annual series, the Year 2020 issue, distinguished by a silver band at the shank face. The band is the single ornamental feature the source describes, and on Stanwell's annual editions such a mount typically serves as the visual signature separating the yearly release from the standard catalogue shapes. Stanwell occupies a central place in twentieth-century pipe history. Through these collaborations Stanwell translated the organic, sculptural vocabulary of Danish high-grade pipemaking into serial factory production, and the phrase 'Danish Design' on a Stanwell stamping is a direct reference to that heritage. The Danish Design line presents shapes drawn from this design tradition, and the yearly editions within it are issued as dated annual releases. Dating this example requires no decoding of factory marks, because the model name itself carries the year: a 'Danish Design Year 2020' pipe is, by the nature of an annual edition, a product of that single production year. Stanwell does not employ a hallmark-style date code system on its , so the year designation built into the series name is the controlling evidence here, corroborated by the owner's identification of the pipe from a Danish estate source. The era bracket is therefore stated with unusual precision for a factory pipe: 2020. The example stands in the archive as a reference for Stanwell's contemporary annual-edition practice and for the continuing use of the Danish Design name in the brand's modern catalogue.

From 1 recorded sale — this pipe, this day. A single transaction is not a market price, and we will never print one as if it were.
The sample this sits in: Faridunhill has recorded 685 sales of Stanwell between 2016–2026 — median $69, most falling between $47 and $125.
The date shown is the date of sale, not the date this page was published. Our own transaction record, published free. No buyer appears here — not a name, not initials, not a country. Counted across both of our channels — eBay 2015–2022 and Etsy 2022–2026 — so the series is continuous and a change of marketplace is never read as a change in price.
Nobody leaves empty-handed. If you hold the catalogue page, the dated advertisement, or a hallmarked sibling that closes one of these — or simply own this model and can measure yours — send it in. Contributions are checked, credited to you by name, and the record is updated with the date it changed.
Instagram post, 2023-02-10. Published to a third-party platform on that date and archived since — a timestamp we cannot move. It is evidence that this object existed and looked like this, then.
The photographs are the identity. 9 images of this pipe's grain, stamping and stem are held as its fingerprint. The handle above is only a handle: lose it, and the pipe can still be matched back to this record from its grain.
